When Zhao Ze appeared in front of his grandmother and younger siblings, his sister Zhao Xiang's first reaction was not surprise, nor was it joy after a long absence, but complained: "Why did the eldest brother come back at this time?" Where have you been all these few months? Don't you know that something happened at home? Do you know how hard we've been?! ”

Niu sat on the upper seat, staring at Zhao Ze gloomily, letting Zhao Xiang blame him. Zhao Ze lowered his head and did not speak. Zhao Yan, who was stopped at the door, stretched his face and stood on the side, Zhao Man pulled his younger brother Zhao Yan with one hand, and tightly grasped the sleeve corner of his brother with the other, looking at Niu, Zhao Ze and Zhao Xiang's ancestors and grandchildren vigilantly.

Outside the door, there were three girls and a mother-in-law probing their heads to see the movement in the house. Among them are Niu's cronies and henchmen, as well as Zhao Xiang's Yahuan, who were originally sold, but Zhao Xiang got the news early and spent money to buy people back. Although the money was spent painfully, their ancestors and grandchildren were accustomed to the service of these people, and how would they live without them?

After Zhao Xiang complained, he cried aggrievedly again. Looking back, if her brother had returned to the capital a long time ago, then when she left the prison, she would have her brother's support, why was she tortured by Zhao Yan and Zhao Man's brothers and sisters? She was almost sold by them to a rough man as a daughter-in-law, if she hadn't been cheeky enough to ask her friend for money and ransom her grandmother, she would have been tortured to death. If his brother is also there, he has the identity of the eldest son, how can it be enough to suppress Zhao Yan, and it was Zhao Man who was called as a girl at will at that time!

The more Zhao Xiang thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and the voice of complaining became louder: "I listen to others." Now that you're mixed up with the people in the second room, can you forget all the grudges between the people in the two rooms?! Daddy went to find the person in the second room who was unlucky, why did you stop in the head? Could it be that you have lived in Fengxian's hometown for two years. I regarded the people in the small second room as relatives, but I left our closest relatives behind? Have you forgotten who made our parents what they are? My mother has suffered in prison for so many years, and it's not all because of the second room! ”

When Zhao Ze heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Zhao Xiang: "Does my sister really care about her mother so much?" Because your mother is in prison, you have always held a grudge against the bitter master Xiao Erfang in your heart? ”

"What bitter master? They are clearly deliberately framed! Zhao Xiang said loudly, "Mother won't do that kind of thing!" Big brother, what's wrong with you? Mother is nurturing to you. When she was still at home when she was a child, she loved us so much, could it be that you forgot it? ”

Zhao Ze smiled. But laughing was even more ugly than crying: "It turns out that my sister is so filial to her mother, it's really surprising." Does that sister know that her mother has died? ”

Zhao Xiang was stunned: "What? "Jiang died? How is this possible? She is obviously still in the women's prison of Dali Temple, haven't the people of the Jiang family been taking care of her? If she dies. Why didn't the Jiang family sue themselves? Even if the Jiang family wants to sever relations with the Zhao family. This kind of thing should always be reported to the children of the Jiang family, right?

Zhao Ze closed his eyes and said loudly: "Mother is seriously ill and died, the Jiang family has left Beijing, you have never visited her in prison, the jailer can't contact the family, and can't leave your mother's body alone, so I rolled her up with a mat and threw her to the mass grave outside the city!" I asked them where they had lost it, and they didn't remember it for a long time! He snapped open his eyes. looked at her sister with red eyes, "My sister kept saying that she resented Xiao Erfang for her mother. How much better are you than them? Xiao Erfang is still willing to pay money to redeem his sister, but what about you, sister? The biological mother is suffering in prison, and even if we can't get her out, it's always okay to visit her, and the result is ...... You obviously have money, you can redeem your grandmother back, you can buy a girl's mother-in-law, you can eat and drink spicy food, but you didn't ask how your mother is doing! She is sick, so sick that she is dying, obviously she has children and daughters, her mother's family and her mother-in-law's family, but she ends up with no place to die, and sister, you ...... And the face in front of me said how much my mother loved us in the past, and we must remember my mother's nurturing grace?! ”

Zhao Xiang gasped rapidly, looked at his brother, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Niu's was also full of surprise, she thought that her mother's family was going to leave the capital, and she couldn't rely on it, and the Jiang family would even leave Jiang's family, and she didn't even care if Jiang died?

Zhao Ze stared at his sister and asked her in a deep voice, "Talk?" Why don't you speak? Sue me, after I went to the south, have you never been to see your mother in the past two or three years? If it's because you're young and it's inconvenient to go to that kind of place, it's okay to send a girl to take a look at her, right? ”

Zhao Xiang took two steps back, and hesitated: "I originally wanted to go, but my father didn't let me, so I ......."

Zhao Ze took two steps towards her: "What about after my father died?" The Jiang family was also implicated in the rebellion case, lost their official positions, and returned to their hometowns with their families, do you know? They can't take care of their mothers anymore, you know?! ”

Zhao Xiang took two steps back: "Know...... "She can't say she doesn't know, because Zhao Yan and Zhao Man'......s brothers and sisters know how she is going to lie?

Zhao Ze took two more steps: "Since you know that they are leaving, why don't you inquire about your mother's situation?" Why don't you even know that she is sick and dead?! ”

Zhao Xiangwa cried, turned around and threw himself into Niu's arms. Niu Shi hugged her and glared at Zhao Ze: "What are you doing bullying your sister?" How old is she? What can you know? The prison is a place she can go to casually? Your mother harmed others for her own selfishness, and even your grandfather died tragically, and the title was lost, and the family was not at peace. If it weren't for a good mother's family, she would have died a long time ago, and it is already great luck to be able to live until this year, and it is better to be able to die silently, and it is better to be dragged to the noon gate after the autumn to behead, so that the people in the capital will think of her again, and they will also look down on our family. Your sister is a good boy who is innocent, why should you mess with her? Because of her, your sister has never been looked down upon in the past, and if she can remember her nurturing grace, she is already your sister sensible. What are you scolding her for? Could it be that you went to see your mother in prison? When she was sick and dying, you were still enjoying happiness in the second room! ”

Zhao Ze's face turned pale, he staggered back a few steps, grabbed the door frame, and said with a miserable smile: "Grandmother is right, I am unfilial." I couldn't send my mother on the last ride......" looked at his sister who was crying in his grandmother's arms, but he didn't have any objections, his heart was like a knife. It's just that my grandmother hated my mother. Unexpectedly, his sister, who was supposed to be with him, also looked at his mother like this. He knew what bad things his mother had done, and he still remembered her nurturing kindness, but his sister ......

Maybe for her sister, she will hate Xiao Erfang, more because Xiao Erfang exposed her mother's crimes. caused her to become the daughter of a sinner, and lost the dignity of Houmen's daughter, right?

Zhao Ze looked at his sister and only felt that she was so strange. However, he had no room to say anything else at this time.

At this moment, a strange man's scolding voice came from outside the door, and Zhao Yan's face changed when he heard it, and he was about to hide in the inner room. But he was stopped by Niu: "What are you doing in a panic?" Could it be that you've got into trouble out there and come back? Who's making the noise outside?! ”

Zhao Yan lowered his head and did not speak. Zhao Man hurriedly defended his brother: "It's Su Juan's uncle." He...... He lent us twenty taels of silver, but I am afraid that he has come to collect the debt......"

When Niu heard this, his face changed. Their family has no income now, and their daily expenses rely on the one or two hundred taels of silver that Zhao Xiang got from Feng Xiuqin. If you want to repay the debt, twenty taels is not a small amount, and it is almost the same as cutting her flesh, not to mention, this meat is cut out. She didn't get any good.

She glared at Zhao Yan again: "Since you are your creditor, why don't you hurry up and repay the silver?" You don't know when I do? You've got a lot of money. "Zhao Yan has been all over the door of distant relatives and old friends. The autumn wind was blowing everywhere, but she refused to hand over a cent of the money she got back, and she was already dissatisfied in her heart.

Zhao Yan clenched his fists and glanced at her with resentment. He has money, but the money is used to save his mother, so he won't give it to people!

Zhao Ze ignored their reactions, walked out, and opened the courtyard door.

The landlord who lived next door had already come out to talk to the strange middle-aged man, and listening to the latter's words, it was really Su Juan's uncle. But he came to the door today, not just to collect debts.

He was only a small businessman, and twenty taels of silver was not a small amount for him, but it was enough for his family to chew for three or four months. He was willing to lend it at the beginning, but it was entirely for the sake of his niece Su Juan. Su Juan is the son of the Zhao family, and the master's family is not doing well, so she will also suffer. Su Juan's parents are not in front of him, and as uncles and aunts, they should take care of them more.

But he never expected that the silver was lent out, but Su Juan was arrested and sold by the government along with other Zhao family members. If Zhao Yan and the others can inform him, the couple will be able to rush over and buy their niece immediately, and let the child live with them in the future. But Zhao Yan didn't say a word, and when they heard the news and rushed over, Su Juan had already been bought because she was young and beautiful. The buyer was a Shanxi businessman, who bought her, saying that she was a girl, but in fact, she was a house. By the time they found Su Juan, she had slept with the new owner, and she was beaten all over by the housemother.

The couple spent twice as much silver, and finally brought Su Juan home to recuperate. Because of the inquiry, Aunt Xiaoqian, the owner of Su Juan, was not ransomed, but exiled, and they thought that the Zhao family had no spare strength to ransom people, although they would complain a few times, but they were not very resentful. But the news they just got made them angry - the Zhao family didn't have no money to ransom people, they ransomed a few girls and a mother-in-law, but they left Su Juan alone, and didn't tell Su Juan's family, and the good girl was ruined for the rest of her life. What is the silver they borrowed from the silk and has not been returned?

Su Juan's uncle came to the door today, not only to collect debts, but also to seek justice for his niece.

Zhao Ze listened to his words and was speechless for a while. Su Juan still remembers that the powerful girl next to Aunt Xiao Qian is a little pretty, very clever, and loyal to Aunt Xiao Qian. It's a pity that now even Aunt Xiaoqian herself can't be protected, how could Zhao Yan think of redeeming her? However, she was sold by the official and didn't tell her family, which was indeed Zhao Yan's fault. Zhao Ze claimed to be the eldest brother, so he could only make a bow to Su Juan's uncle and apologize to him.

Su Juan's uncle scolded for a long time, but Zhao Ze never returned the favor, so he scolded, and even when he raised his hand to fight, he didn't see any signs of resistance from Zhao Ze, but he was not allowed to enter the house, saying that he was afraid of disturbing the female relatives in the family. Zhao Ze not only had a good attitude, but also took the initiative to return the twenty taels of silver, and attached two taels as interest. Su Juan's uncle's anger gradually subsided, and his tone was not so impulsive: "Which one of the Zhao family are you?" I have never seen you before. I heard that it was the eldest son of the Zhao family, he was obviously an insider, and sneered: "It turned out to be the eldest young master, I only heard people say that you were useless, but I didn't expect you to be a kind person, and you were arranged by others." It's a pity that you are not blessed in your life, and you will have to bear such a group of white-eyed wolves in the future. In the past, they treated you badly, and I advise you to abandon them as soon as possible and find another livelihood! ”

After that, he shouted into the house again: "Zhao Yan, you bastard, although the money and debts have been paid off today, the favors you owe to my family have not been repaid." You can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth, sooner or later, one day, I will take this breath for Su Juan, you wait for me! He took the silver into his bosom, turned and strode away.

The room was silent, and Zhao Ze sighed and thanked the landlord. The landlord glanced vaguely into the house and said to him, "This little brother, if you have a place to go, take your family away quickly." I'm not worthy of the rich old lady in your house. We husbands and wives are also stupid, we can only be landlords, rent houses for people to live in, but we don't know how to do rough work and wait for people. ”

As soon as Zhao Ze heard this, he knew that the Niu family must have done something to anger the landlord and his wife, so he returned to the house helplessly, and was about to speak, but he saw the Niu family squinting at him, although there was a smile on his face, but the smile made people's hearts cold: "Brother Ze, you still have money to pay off the debts for Brother Yan'er, and you can also pay interest, it seems that you have a lot of silver in your hands." Where did it come from? What your father gave you when he went to Gangnam? Still is...... You have a sweet mouth that pleases your great-grandmother, and she appreciates you? ”

Zhao Ze couldn't help but shiver, and replied in a low voice: "My grandson was seriously injured in the south, and the elders of the clan came to visit, and when I saw that it was pitiful, I gave some silver to treat my grandson's injuries, and now there are still some left." ”

"Oh? Which elder is it? Niu suddenly sat up straight, "It's Master Yu of the long room, right?" Liu Ying is his person, and he takes care of you, and he should take care of you. But...... Your great-grandmother didn't give you anything? ”

Zhao Ze couldn't say no, he went to Beijing with the Zhang family, saying that the Zhang family had never given him anything, and his grandmother would never believe it.

Seeing that Zhao Ze acquiesced, Niu's face showed a satisfied smile: "Since your great-grandmother loves you and takes care of you a lot, then you should often come to the door to ask for peace." ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and even Zhao Xiang looked at her in disbelief, wondering why her grandmother suddenly changed her mind and let Zhao Ze get close to the little second room?

Niu Shi didn't seem to see everyone's surprised eyes, but instead looked up at the surroundings and said disgustedly: "Where can I live in this house?" The family has a large population, and they can't live there. It's time to find a bigger house, and if you can be in the inner city, it would be great, at least three entrances. ”

Zhao Ze listened to his grandmother's words, and somehow, he suddenly remembered what his aunt Zhao Xiu said to him, and his heart sank. (To be continued......)
